Sex Transm Dis. 2011 Oct;38(10):947-8. doi: 10.1097/OLQ.0b013e318222f126.

Abstract

Medical record review was used to identify missed opportunities for chlamydia screening among 103 American Indian/Alaska Native women. Of these, 69% had received a pregnancy test and 74% had received a urine test in the previous 12 months. Chlamydia screening may increase if linked to the other routine clinical testing.
